The Blokas Midihub has an amazing new update (Blokas Midihub - #383 by Karhide) that comes with a chord mode for the note dispatcher. I tried to use the old dispatcher to set the six notes of the six Nord Drum 3P pads in one go from a keyboard but it was quite tricky. The new mode is perfect for this and I can imagine many Nord Drum 3P users (that actually play the pads) finding it handy.
Sadly not having four arms yet, this isn’t that useful in a live situation, but for quickly setting the six pads to specific notes it’s perfect. For a live situation I think I’d take these chords and assign them to a midi footswitch each. But this will be great for working out what those chords should be etc.
Literally just installed the midihub beta firmware and knocked this out so nothing musical but here’s some live switching to show it works. The pauses and bad drum playing are due to me not having enough hands.
Midihub setup is a dispatcher set to chord ascending mode and dispatching to channels 1-6, then a transform to transform those note messages to cc 31 (with the value set to the note number) and then a filter to filter out the note message itself.
I’m sure someone with greater skills than me can make some great use for this.
